yesterday it wasn't there. Today i tried to read the mailer from newegg(with deals etc) and i got a password prompt. seemed phishy so i ended the task. Just wondering if everybody else is getting it too. Opened in gmail, with FF3 if it matters.

I just tried to open it with Roadrunner webmail and got the same password prompt. I believe it to be legit. I think it's a way to offer deals to confirmed customers
When in doubt, leave it alone

We apologize to those of you who experienced some technical difficulties when trying to open today's edition of the Newegg e-Blast Newsletter. One of our servers was temporarily down, causing the e-Blast to display incorrectly for some recipients.

The e-Blast is now running correctly again, and we would like to reassure you that this was a purely internal technical issue—none of your private information has been accessed or leaked outside our secure network. We take our customers’ privacy very seriously and have run a thorough check to ensure that your personal data has not in any way been compromised, so please rest assured.

This morning’s temporary server failure is an extremely rare occurrence at Newegg and we are putting additional measures in place to ensure a similar problem will not occur again. We apologize for the inconvenience this morning’s technical difficulties may have caused you and thank you for your understanding and patience with the situation.

Sincerely,

The Newegg e-Blast Team
